  • Publication number: 20170306676
    Abstract: A mechanism is described for leaves of a furniture item (10). The furniture item comprises a compartment (V), a sliding leaf (22, 24) to close/uncover the compartment, a mechanism (40) mounted inside the compartment to support the leaf during a horizontal movement in order to uncover the compartment. The mechanism has a support point (48, 58) on the leaf when the leaf is moved to uncover the compartment, wherein the point is displaceable with respect to the furniture item along a direction parallel to the sliding of the leaf, said point being comprised in a rigid element (46, 56) constrained to the compartment.

  • Patent number: 9752367
    Abstract: A damping or return device for sliding door leaves, particularly for furniture, is provided. The device includes a rectilinear hollow body made of plastic material, which is slideably associated with a profile that is integral with the top of the piece of furniture and can be coupled automatically and with a snap action to an entrainer. The entainer is fixed to one of the door leaves by way of an adapted carriage. The rectilinear hollow body accommodates a bidirectional shock absorber and interacts selectively with a first or a second magnetized stroke limiting pivot which are associated with a first guide or with a second guide.

  • Publication number: 20170182879
    Abstract: A suspension system (20) is described for vehicle with a frame, comprising an element (R, 12) propulsive by rolling on the ground; two units (12a, 12b) adapted to impart a torque to the propulsive element that are controllable independently of one another, where the two units are movable relative to the propulsive element independently from one another and rigidly connectable to the frame at one same point (P). By moving one or each unit relative to the propulsive element the distance between the latter and said point is made to vary.

  • Publication number: 20170074018
    Abstract: An abutment element (B1, B2) is described adapted to be arranged on a profile (10) mounted on a furniture item, on the profile being able to slide a shock-absorber that is integral with a door and which is mounted to meet the abutment element to activate. The element has a portion (32, 52) slidably couplable to the profile so that the abutment element can slide on the profile without detaching; and a modifiable structure for creating a constraint to the sliding of the abutment element so as to make it integral with the profile. Thereby easy assembly and lack of screw-hole are assured.
